Classic essays on electrical and general engineering

I tutor English language and literature. I sometimes find that tutees are really keen on engineering, tech and so on, and find analysing the more traditional texts intimidating (I mean Shakespeare and so on). I know there are classic essays on…

RLC filter as amplifier?

is it possible that a RLC filter works as an amplifier? If it works at resonant frequency, then the output will be greater than the input. Thank for your time.

Transfer function of amplifier (exercise)

The transfer function of the following circuit is (I read A(s) on the solution of my professor): $$A(s)=A_{CB} \frac{s \space \omega_{pC2}}{(s+\omega_{pC1})(s+\omega_{pC2})}$$ where Nevertheless is the pole of \$C_i\$ and \$A_{CB}\$ is the midband…

Possibility of poles with positive real part in RLC filter

are there the poles with positive real part in any function mode of the RLC filter? The equation to determine the poles is the following: $$RLCs^2+Ls+R=0$$ $$s_{1,2}=\frac{-L\pm \sqrt {L^2-4R^2LC}}{2RLC}$$ Thank you for your time. P.s. I posted…

Serie, parallel and other configurations (relative to small signal) of capacitors in amplifiers - poles and zeros

When I study frequency responce of amplifiers, I must understand if capacitors are in serie, parallel etc. relative to input small signal (in my exercises there is always only one input small signal). So far I learned that: a capacitor in parallel…

Behaviour of a capacitor+resistor (frequency domain)

why a capacitor behaves as an open circuit when \$\omega<\omega_p\$ and as a short circuit when \$\omega>\omega_p\$ (where \$\omega_p=1/RC\$ is a pole)? My question is generic. Thank you for your time.
